The only purpose of the day job is to buy the craft supplies!! Seriously, I LOVE making personalized crafts. I now have a line of hand-crafted fans and notecards using the Zentangle (R) technique. I have also become a Certified Zentangle Teacher and teach other artforms and techniques.

Oh I think you have gone and done it now!!! There are going to be a ton of wallets being given out this holiday season now lol.

I have a quick question - do you think this would work with snaps instead of velcro dots? Those velcro iron on dots never seem to stay put in the long run... and also how many credit card slots are there? Is it just two?

Awesome tutorial by the way - it's so detailed and precise. Super job!!

Yes, I actually use snaps on the ones I make. I only used the velcro on the tute to keep it fairly simple. Just put the snap on before you sew the opening for the flap shut.**There are 4 credit card slots. I can fit 3 cards in each one.This wallet will hold money, change, up to 12 cards, and 2 checkbooks.And all my coworkers are female so guess what they are getting for X-mas? lol
